how do you solve 5(2k-3)+2(k+4)=17

Parth (parthkohli):

Use the distributive property.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Looks like you multiply everything out, collect like terms, subtract, and divide. You're trying to get k by itself, so you need to simplify it somehow. Play around with it, and hopefully you'll figure it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Open brackets after multiplying. Get all like terms to one side. Solve for k.
